About Stone Edge

Our Company History

Company founder Barney Stone designed and co-authored DB Master and DB Master Professional, relational database management programs for Apple II computers. In 1983 he started Stone Edge Technologies, Inc. to provide custom business software for small- to medium-sized businesses. Since 1999, the company has focused on developing order management software that includes CRM, inventory control, POS systems, warehouse management and other business management tools for ecommerce and brick-and-mortar retail companies.

Order Management and Much More for Ecommerce Companies

Today, the Stone Edge Order Manager is the leading order management system for independent retailers who ship 5 to 5,000 orders per day. Designed for single and multi-channel merchants, the Order Manager makes Web, Point-of-Sale and traditional mail order businesses easier to manage with practical customer, inventory and order management tools.

The Stone Edge Business Model

Our target market is small-to-medium retailers, ranging from simple Web-based businesses to multi-channel merchants handling multiple Web sites, brick-and-mortar retail stores and mail and phone orders. Our typical users ship 5 to 5,000 orders per day. Our business model has three main elements: Openness, Value and Service.

Openness

You can see openness in our Web site, where our User’s Guides, Knowledge Base, Forum and pricing are all open to the public. You can see it in our software, designed for easy customization and shipped with mostly open source code. And you’ll find it when you contact us, and realize that yes, there is still at least one phone-friendly software company left in the world! (BTW – The number is 610-994-3699.)

Value

You will find value in the many features of the Stone Edge Order Manager, and economy in our pricing. By keeping our prices reasonable we are able to serve a large number of merchants, bringing them big-company features and capabilities at small-company prices that virtually any business can afford. By delivering traditional desktop-based software, we give our users complete control over their data and far greater customization capabilities than Web-based systems can offer, while avoiding per-transaction and revenue sharing fees that make other order management systems dramatically more expensive.

Service

And you will find excellent service when you deal with us, from your telephone calls with pre-sales questions to help with installing and configuring the Stone Edge Order Manager to your dealings with our support staff. Stone Edge Technologies will always strive to be the kind of software company that you want to work with!
